Llais y Lle 2024

Llais y Lle was launched in 2023 to support creative individuals in developing use and ownership of the Welsh Language by working with communities. Last year’s projects were varied, including a festival to celebrate wild ponies in Carneddau, to a study of the language’s role in Butetown, to creative workshops for young people in Montgomeryshire. 

Some of the Llais y Lle 2023 work can be viewed on the project’s channel on AM. Einir Sion, Welsh Language Enabler for Arts Council of Wales, noted that she’s pleased to be able to share the stories here: “The Llais y Lle 2023 projects were wonderful, and have had a substantial effect on the Welsh language in communities across all of Wales. These stories deserved to be heard, and AM is the perfect platform to do this.” 

More applications than ever were received this year, and Cyngor y Celfyddydau are proud to announce the Llais y Lle 2024. Upon their announcement, Einir said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome 16 special individuals to the Llais y Lle 2024 family. The first year was extraordinary, but we’ve also learned from it and ensured that its second year targets different communities and artforms, and provides more opportunities to develop Welsh language creative practice, whilst continuing to work in a supportive and collaborative way. It’s all available to enjoy on AM this year, right from the very start. I’m very excited for what’s to come.”
